The Fine Arts Musum houses some of the best Vietnamese art. This includes oil paintings and sculptures along with Vietnamese ceramics and lacquerware. Work by both Vietnamese as well as foreign artists are on display here, spread over three levels.

The first level of the museum displays a combination of traditional Chinese art, modern art, Belle Époque and Soviet propaganda art. On the second floor, you find mostly political art - meaning more propaganda - this time relating to Vietnam War. There are also Chinese-style porcelain here.

The third floor of the Fine Arts Museum has its most interesting exhibits. They include works of art from Vietnam's ancient civilizations. Among the items on display here include Cham statues, Oc Eo pottery and sculptures, and a fine set of wooden funerary statuettes from the central highlands of Vietnam.

Location

The Fine Arts Museum is located at 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. It is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
